Udinese: Zaniolo has recovered, but will he start against AC Milan?

Serie A

Udinese

AC Milan

<p><span>Zaniolo has completed his recovery and trained on the pitch with his team-mates after just over 20 days out, having already missed a month at the start of the season.</span></p><p><span>Officially fit again ahead of schedule, he has made himself available to his team-mates and the manager for the match against AC Milan.</span></p>

Trains on the pitch

<p><span>How long can Zaniolo play? On Sunday 25 October, Udinese host AC Milan at the Bluenergy Stadium in Udine at 8.45pm, looking to end a dreadful run of five consecutive defeats that has dragged the Friulian side into the relegation battle.</span></p><p><span>Zaniolo is unlikely to play for long, and Udinese risk losing him again if they do not manage him carefully. Starting him would give Udinese more attacking threat, but bringing him on during the match could protect him from a possible setback.</span></p>
